What were the Big Ideas in your reading and class discussion in week #4?
Week 4 Ch. 6 ES #34
The big idea in this chapter is what is the relationship between the periodontium and age? The chapter went back and forth with studies that showed age as a factor of the deterioration of the periodontium, while other studies contradicted these findings. Overall, age might affect an individuals ability to manage periodontal disease, but it is not a cause of it.
Week 4- Aging and the Periodontium: for me the big idea was...Is the periodontium affected with age???
From the reading the evidence base studies are not consistant enough to give a diffinative answer, however there were a few changes that seemed to be directly related to the aging of the periodontuim, these changes include a decreased number of fibroblasts, and irregular structure, changes in the connective tissues, decreased amounts of elastic fiber and increased cemental width. In all the corralation of the aging periodontuim seems to be dependant on the over all health and home care of the individual. CA
Chapter 6’s big idea was the effects of aging on the periodontium and the effects of aging on the treatment outcome of an individual.VD
Week 4
Effects of aging on structure and function of periodontium, on nature of supra and subgingival plaque, and on progression of periodontal disease.
Week 4/ Ch. 6 --AH-- The big idea that I gathered from this chapter was that there is nothing about aging which is the absolute cause of an increase in the chances of a person developing periodontal disease. However, changes associated with aging do influence the cellular composition and structure of the periodontium and can possibly be viewed as an associated factor in developing periodontal disease. I did think it was interesting that the author stated that older individuals are typically more compliant with OHI than are younger individuals, which can help prevent disease from occuring.
Chp. 6
Big Idea: Aging may affect aspects of managing periodontal health, but an individual's experience with periodontal health is more related to their over-all health, the ability to successfully control plaque on their own, and receive maintenance with their dental office on a regular basis. Many studies found no age-related differences in periodontium with that of older populations compared to young populations. However, some studies found conclusive evidence of age-related changes in the peridontium, to include: coarser & denser gingival connective tissue, decreased numbers of fibroblasts, increased cemental width, irregular periodontal surface of bone & less regular insertion of collagen fibers.
Ch. 6
This chapter is about studies on whether periodontal disease is a byproduct of aging. Aging does not cause periodontal disease. Smoking is a major factor in periodontal disease. Plaque build-up due poor oral hygiene and trauma are also factors. Deterioration of the gingival epithelium, connective tissue, PDL, cementum, and alveolar bone are natural processes that occur with aging. ES33
Ch 6
The big idea is the effects of aging on the periodontium. Aging may cause the gingival epithelium to thin and decrease numbers in fibroblasts and changes in the connective tissue. The cementum is thikined with age and reduction in bone mass is not related to age. Also aging is not the cause of periodontal disease it is more so poor oral hygiene and other risk facters.
Ch. 6 The Big Idea is that studies show that as a person ages the periodontium ages but their isn’t a correlation that indicates that the individual will develop periodontitis.
CH 6
The big idea of this chapter focuses on the effects of aging in relation to the periodontium. There are effects on the gingival epithelium, connective tissue, PDL, cementum, and alveolar bone that are caused by aging but are not the cause for periodontal disease and recession, but more due to poor oral hygiene and other risk factors assoiciated with aging.
AS36
Big idea Ch.6
This chapter states that the effects of aging are clinically insignificant and that the older population can be managed the same way the younger population can. We need to be aware some changes occur to the periodontium with age, but studies show that the increased risk of loss of periodontal support is very small and the risk is due to inadaquate OH.
SF25
Ch. 6
The big idea in this chapter is the periodontium and how it can age over time. It goes into detail and describes each part of the periodontium (gingiva, gingival CT, periodontal ligament, cementum, and alveolar bone) and the aging effects of each one.
KR32
Ch.6
The big idea for chapter six was about how to periodontium responds to aging. The chapter goes in depth to discuss specific parts of the periodontium and how each part changes as an individual ages.
